Haiti

The Pope Family of Columbia, Tennessee shares a special bond with Haiti.  In 2002, Bill and Bronwen Pope, and daughters Hannah and Noe, adopted baby Kenson, and a year later, baby Caeden, from Haiti.  They are members of the Hillsboro United Methodist Church.

There is so much to be done in Haiti.  The Office of Creative Ministries is setting up regular mission trips to Haiti to install Hydraid pure water filters.  In addition the special 2012 Festival of Sharing Heifer International project is that of providing families in Haiti with pigs.  For information about these projects go to the Office of Creative Ministries website at http://umocm.com.  Or call 573-474-7155 or email Dora Thackery at Thackery@umocm.com.

UBL

The Missouri Conference has been invited to return to a favorite Volunteers in Mission site of the past.  Over the next two to three years we will be sending 10 VIM teams to build a married student housing unit for the Latin American Biblical Seminary, in San Jose, Costa Rica.  Audrey Phelps introduces the new project in this MissionCast.  There are four ways to join this project.  You can pray for its success; you can donate to the project ($30,000 is needed for the building supplies); you can join a VIM team (Audrey will lead one of the first ones in August) and you can lead a VIM team.  Audrey and about 300 volunteers from the Missouri Conference have served at the seminary in the past, including a cabinet team, led by Bishop Sherer.  To join this project call or email Audrey at phelps@umocm.com or 573-474-7155.

Lawson United Methodist Church prepared this video to help spread the word about Baby Grace Ministries which was started by two young women in the Buckner UMC and which has now spread to nine other churches.

The purpose of the Baby Grace Ministry is to give young mothers the supplies, clothes and toys their newborns need to get off to a good start in life. The ministry also provides educational resources about parenting.
